This lovely red-flowered native was introduced into cultivation by the famed botanist David Douglas, and is planted extensively by our Green Space Initiative staff at their restoration events.

This particular specimen occupies a rather prominent position in Executive Director Scott Fogarty’s front yard.

    Congratulations! If you ‘read’ about this plant, it would certainly be in the ‘currant’ events. FoT (and especially this former english major) always appreciates word play!

    I’m glad you’re a sensitive guy and like pink!

    I like edgy plant names such as “Crimson Pygmy” Barberry.
